What is wrong with this proof?
2 = 1
a = b
a2 = ab
a2 – b2 = ab – b2
(a + b) (a – b) = b (a – b)
a + b = b
2b = b

Right, this is a nice beginning but i’ll have to consider that a tiny bit more. Will show you what else i have found.
u cant cancel (a-b=0) from both sides. if u could no need of such a long procedure.
999999999999999*0=1*0 then, 9999999999999999=1 ????
(a + b) (a – b) = b (a – b) after this we can’t write a + b = b because a-b=0
